Hi,

Is it possible to photo read mathematics? Or is it like what tradition has been espousing that we have to practice?

Regards

Yes you can photoread mathmatics but you would need to do the problems as well that would be your activation doing the math problems. You might consider doing a search on mathmatics. There are plenty of posts on this forum of people using Photoreading to help them learn mathmatics.

MelaOS,

I have used photoreading for programming.

I have found Alex's comment about photoreading for math to be especially pertinent. She suggested that you treat each chapter as a book and to make multiple passes with photoreading on the chapter for each learning goal.

Instead of it being a linear, plug through process, it is more of a process of going through and going through and going through and having the pieces fall together naturally.

IMO, it doesn't make the process of learning new programming languages or techniques much easier. This is my own experience I am talking about. I find the concepts and problems with programming to be very involved. You really need to DO programming.

The multiple passes are like smoothing a rough surface with sand paper.

First you go over it quicky with course paper to get those really high bumps (stuff you quickly recognise or already know) Then you take a slightly finer one it's still course. The second stage of activation, build on what you recognise. You continue going into each level of detail adding a bit more to you knowledge.

This works faster for sanding a rough surface (tough subject activation) than using the softest grade of sand paper (analytical reading) first.
